witnesses try to convince you that everything they teach is supported from the scriptures.. where in the bible does it say anything about "special pioneers" or "publishers"?.

where in the bible does it say you can take some blood components but not others?.

where in the bible does it say that 1914 was a marked year?.

Heavenly calling being closed out in 1931

appointment of GB in 1918

no military service or alternet service,

any ideas?

mann377

He really did not believe all that 1914 crap. I know this from listening him talk to Charley Feckel at breakfest one morning. I sat down and they did not see me (it was early). Charley got real mad.

I saw an article the other day that reviewed the book 1984 by George Orwell. This is the first time I have read the book since being deprogramed 20+ years ago. I was amazed at the parallel with the Borg's structure.

Which One Will YOU Be In the Year 1984?There won't be much choice, of course, if this book's predictions turn out to be true. But you'll probably become one of the following four types:

Proletarian--Considered inferior and kept in total ignorance, you'll be fed lies from the Ministry of Truth, eliminated upon signs of promse of ability!

Police Guard--Chosen for lack of intelligence but superior brawn, you'll be suspicious of everyone and be ready to give your life for Big Brother, the leader you've never even seen!

Party Member: Male--Face-less, mind-less, a flesh-and-blood robot with a push-button brain, you're denied love by law, taught hate by the flick of a switch!

Party Member: Female--A member of the Anti-Sex League from birth, your duty will be to smother all human emotion, and your children might not be your husband's!

A Critique of GB Anthony Morriss 2007 Convention Talk - Barb Anderson

a painstaking satire/critique of gb anthony morriss 2007 convention talk, .

they keep following the lamb no matter where he goes".

mann377

I hope GB Morris didn't break his arm patting himself on the back! What is really scary about this talk is the fact that there was a time when I would have taken this seriously. I also think that the GB is showing their hand by mentioning "faithful slave" 96 times in 30 minutes. I believe they see this train (the internet) coming down the tracks and they just can not get off the tracks.

KINGDOM HALL TRUST

by badboy in

what can you tell me about this?

mann377

Although I have not searched the info on this site, I would give you some background on the ownership of the Kingdom Halls and the property that the WTBS owns. All kingdom Halls are owned by the WTBS through a land TRUST. The congergation doesn't have squat. The reason for the Land Trust is for legal protection in case of law suites. Each site is its own Land Trust so that a judgement on one (Kingdom Hall) is not attached to others in the state.
